Join us for the Watkins Glen Cardboard Boat Regatta, this Saturday, June 18!!

As we mentioned in previous communications, we’ve been planning for some time to participate in the 2016 regatta. Due to “LION-power” constraints, we opted to limit our Chapter’s participation this year to “prowl and spectate” instead. Our intent is to do some reconnaissance so we can develop an impressive PSAA-SFLX Chapter entry for 2017.

We enthusiastically encourage all of you to meet up with us for an afternoon of waterfront fun and PSU camaraderie!

WHEN: Saturday, June 18thWHERE: Rooster Fish Brewing - 111 Franklin Street (http://www.roosterfishbrewing.com/)TIME: 12:00-1:00pm. We’ll rally at Rooster Fish Brewing between 12:00-1:00pm. (Those interested in a pre-Regatta “Rinse & Nosh” should plan on arriving closer to noon.) Around 1:15pm, we’ll make our way over to the “Concourse de Cardboard!” to view and vote on the Regatta entries and secure a good place to cheer on this year’s paddling pirates as they set sail (or sink) beginning at 2pm.

Please contact Jen Kozlowski at (jenkoz2000 at yahoo dot com) with questions or for any coordinating details.

WE ARE…gearing up to participate in the Watkins Glen Cardboard Boat Regatta and we need your help!

For those who are unfamiliar, the spirit of this fun and wacky event is cardboard, duct tape, glue and paint!!!A fleet of dozens of cardboard boats race and compete for prizes in multiple categories, including Fastest Time, Best Lookin' Boat, Best Theme, and Best Boat Name. Check out full event and festival details at: http://www.thewaterfrontfestival.com/index.php

Welcome to our home on the web!

As alumni, we are called upon to demonstrate what it means to be a Penn Stater - not only to students past, present and future, but to the communities where we live. That's why our chapter works hard to arrange opportunities for networking, volunteering, philanthropy, football and fun!

Join us throughout the year as we celebrate our alma mater - for the glory! We welcome your questions and comments - contact us at southernfingerlakespsu@gmail.com
